180 AT $225A CAN POPPYCOCK ISN'T p S. Au contraire! Poppycock is an ambrosial agglomeration of toothsome pecans, toasted whole meaty almonds and fluffy puffs of popcorn-all enveloped in a wicked buttery crunch derived from scads of Grade AA 93 score butter. Of course, Poppycock isn't exactly peanuts. But then, if it were, it wouldn't be Poppycock. :''O'ft: btt G:' Ñ A(" .æ .... .., {IUh>i, " ..;;.

NOVEMDER 20, 1971 ENTERTAINING primary schools and put demo tiki and katharevousa on an equal footing in the Gyrnnasia and the universities The colonels (who abolished the 1964 Edu- cation Act by a so-called Law of Ne- cessity, in September, 1967) have put back the educational clock in this and other respects. D em 0 tiki is now sup- posed to be used only in the first three years of grammar school. Then, in the next three, heginnings are made with teaching in katharevousa, which is also now the only language of secondary education. (Ancient Greek is back in the curriculum, and is sometimes taught to Gymnasium students for eight hours a week.) Some university teachers claim that for technical sub- jects katharevousa provides greater clarity. Modern Greek poets all write in demotiki. There are, of course, many shades of difference between, say, the katharevousa spoken by the Prime :\1in- ister addressing his troops and the modified katharevousa of the television news, as there are between the demotiki of television commercials and the lan- guage spoken by children out of school. There is also a lot of snobbery involved. In a recent survey made by an Ameri- can firm called I.C.A.P. to find out what language to use in a Greek edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica, people seemed to divide fifty-fifty when they were asked whether they preferred de- motiki or katharevousa. When, in a second questIon, they were presented with six texts, varying from extreme demo tiki to extreme katharevousa, nine- ty-three per cent of those surveyed plumped for a moderate demotiki. The present regime has once more set twelve as the age at which one may leave school (and although there are child-labor laws forbidding children to work until they are fifteen, it isn't hard to get a thirteen-year-old maid in Athens). The Ministry of National Education and Religion is in chargL of schools; its office in Athens is in a building owned by the Gree"k Ortho- dox Church, and God is, with Father- land, once more to the fore. Placards in classrooms bear sayings like "The Beginning of Wisdom Is the Fear of the Lord." There is in Greece, as else- where, a teacher shortage, and some Athens classes have fifty or sixty pupils. Teachers are not very well paid, and >>- ' "':. a headmaster with twenty-five years' service gets about the same pay as an Army major. Primary-teacher training colleges in the bigger cities have been shut down, leaving just those in the provinces. The idea, apparently, is to counteract cosmopolitan, urhan influ- ences.
